Professor speaks out about kids crashing his BBC interview

Professor Robert Kelly has returned to break his silence on the viral sensation of his children ran into his office during his interview on the BBC about South Korea’s politics.

Kelly and wife Kim Jung-A speak out about that adorably hilarious interview fiasco which he now admits was “terribly cute.”

Behind all the nervous eye shutting and slight grimaces was “a mixture of surprise, embarrassment and amusement and love and affection,” says Kelly in a new video interview with his kids

Kelly, an associate professor at Pusan National University, tells the BBC: “I was just hoping you guys might cut it on your end. I was maintaining a straight face, trying to get through it.”

He appears less stone-faced academic and more down-to-earth parent. His child paws at his face and tugs his hair in the newest interview. He even shows off some slippers while his bed full of books has also been cleared away.

Kim Jung-A, talks about what was going through her mind as it unfolded. “Yeah, most of the time he locks the door,” she says pointing the finger at Kelly before he bursts into laughter.

“I heard she leaving but I couldn’t find them around me and I tried to check the door,” Jung-A explains. “It was some chaos for me.”
